Vehviläinen told the downtown parliamentary group on Tuesday.
Parliamentary speaker Anu Vehviläinen (Central) does not seek the post of President in February. The Speaker of Parliament and two Vice-Speakers are elected at the Parliamentary Plenary Session on the first day of the month.
“Today, I have told the members of the downtown parliamentary group that I will not be available for the position of chairman of the parliamentary group at the beginning of February,” Vehviläinen said in a press release on Tuesday.
Vehviläinen was elected chairman in June 2020, when downtown Matti Vanhanen became briefly Minister of Finance Katri Kulmunin after a (central) surprising difference.
“Even then, I thought it was natural that if Vanhanen is available as chairman after his post as minister, it will be fine for me. I hope that the parliamentary group in the center will nominate MP Matti Vanhanen for the position of chairman, ”Vehviläinen says in a press release.
He is currently acting as First Vice-President Antti Rinne (sd) and as Second Vice-President Juho Eerola (ps).
